I'm having trouble drawing this folded handle as a sheet metal part. Does anyone have any tips please?

    Hi @GWS50 that is formed or stamped which is not a sheet metal feature. Onshape only supports sheet metal parts created on a press brake or progressive die. You will have to create it as a regular solid and use ExactFlat if you want the flattened shape.

    Thank Neil, that makes sense now. I only have one question.....where or what is ExtractFlat?

    It is in appstore.onshape.com - a partner product.

    Onshape really needs a tool to un-flatten formed surfaces or at least a workable FS.  Vote here https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/9764/flatten-unwrap-surface#latest
